Mugs. Got about 40, 10 of them are Christmas ones. There's only 2 adults in the house.

Lint removers. I have a ginger hairy cat and anything dark coloured has to be rollered extensively and frequently if I don't want to look as if I'm wearing fur covered clothes. Grin

I have them in every room in the house.

Gym leggings by Sturdy by Design. Oh my, they are so pretty!

petalpower · 05/01/2021 18:34

Navy and white striped tops- a ridiculous amount!

nearlynermal · 05/01/2021 18:34

Dressing gowns.

Hollybutnoivy · 05/01/2021 18:34

Sheet music for the piano- most of which I can't play!

CeeceeBloomingdale · 05/01/2021 18:35

Mugs, hundreds of them!

Also coats, and in general clothes and shoes that don't get worn

Cards, keep buying in bulk then forgetting and buying more

Imiss2019 · 05/01/2021 18:35

schleich animals
Apple products
Painkillers (for some reason I buy a pack whenever I’m in any shop, always have. No idea why 🤷‍♀️)

TabithaTowers · 05/01/2021 18:35

Cats.
Shoes.
Smart dresses for work.

Marmite27 · 05/01/2021 18:36

Enamel pie dishes... and packet savoury rice, about 45 packets at the last count, we don’t need anymore but have a blank in the superset every week and buy more.

Imiss2019 · 05/01/2021 18:36

Oh and Lego (an obscene amount)

Is no one admitting to owning too much toilet paper?!

DelphineWalsh · 05/01/2021 18:39

Felt tip pens. I got excited with a bullet journal many years ago and then couldn't be bothered with the pictures. I use just any old pen now but have a massive pencil case with all the coloured pens you could ever want.

Onlinedilema · 05/01/2021 18:39

Shoes.
Lotions and potions, I have lots of bags of various potions stuffed in various places throughout the house, I know they are there and I know I need to sort through them, I just can't face it.

Rainbowandscarlett · 05/01/2021 18:40

Scarves-I see a pretty one,buy it and now I have 3 shelves full (and counting)
Shoes/boots-ditto
Socks-god knows how-I’ve bought 8pairs since we moved in together 4 years ago-it’s like they breed in the drawer

Mugs
Jealous!
VVKills27 · 05/01/2021 18:40

Brilliant topic for a thread! I’ve always had an unhealthy addiction to buying coats (usually inexpensively, from charity or vintage shops).
Rugs & bedding are also part of the ‘problem’. They’re such such beautiful things though 🤫

Onlinedilema · 05/01/2021 18:40

Oh and cups/mugs.
